She has also performed under contract in India, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Mediterranean cruises.

Caroline is known for her pure Egyptian style choreographies because of her understanding of the language, music and feelings. Her choreographies are beautifully elegant, fun and sometimes a bit cheeky! Her ability to breakdown the challenging Egyptian Oriental technique makes her workshops a truly valuable experience. Caroline also teaches the various Egyptian and folkloric styles from Modern and Classical Egyptian, Shaabi, Baladi, Tarab, Saidi, Nubian, Alexandrian, Ghawazee, Shamadan as well as modern and traditional Khaleegy styles from the Gulf region.
